Chapter 6 Midnight Ghost Frightens the Heart

  Zuo Guanyun is gone, but I couldn't sit still. This room has a ghost! Although from the photo, this female ghost should look pretty good, but after all, it's a ghost! Since I met that disgusting and ugly ghost thing in Zuoshan Tomb, I have reevaluated my understanding of ghosts. This female ghost is probably also a "gossipmonger"!

  Like this, I walked back and forth in the room, for a moment not knowing what to do. But then I thought: Ah? What's wrong with me! I'm the successor of Tu Bufan, the great ghost catcher, some simple Taoist theories I can still use. Besides, my bag has the super ghost-expelling talisman left by Grandpa, and it also comes with the mysterious Yinbing Ce!

  Thinking of this, my tense and uneasy heart calmed down a lot, and I relaxed as well.

  As soon as I relaxed, I suddenly felt that I hadn't eaten for a day, and my stomach started to protest. I remembered that Zuo Guanyun told me before he left that there was food in the fridge, so I threw my backpack onto the sofa in the living room and headed towards where the fridge was.

  But when I opened the refrigerator door, I was literally in tears...

  Can you eat what's inside?!

  Not to mention the nauseating smell that hits your nostrils, just looking at the things in this fridge, you can tell that even if you fed these foods to dogs, they probably wouldn't be able to eat them.

  Rotten tomatoes that are almost a puddle of red mud, bananas as black as charcoal, peaches oozing with pus... even the two buckets of instant noodles on display have had their shelf life expire for over half a year...

  "How long has this old man not lived here? It's true..."

  I still want to scold some unpleasant words, but thinking carefully, this scolding is also for myself to hear. With this strength, it's better to save it to fight against hunger!

  Like this, I gently closed the bedroom door with the mistress's photo, and then sat alone on the sofa, even turning on the living room lights, preparing to spend the night on the sofa with the yellow package.

  But although I was very tired, I couldn't sleep at all. Besides the dazzling light in the living room, my stomach was aching with hunger, and to make matters worse, there were female ghosts in this house. The physical torture and mental chaos made it impossible for me to close my eyes.

  "Gulu——"

  "Gulu——"

  The rumbling sound in my stomach is getting louder and more unbearable, my stomach is also getting more and more uncomfortable, it's getting harder to hold on.

  "It's no use! Isn't it just past the expiration date? It's not poison, eating it won't kill you, at most it'll just give you a stomachache, I admit it!"

  Thinking of this, I quickly got up from the sofa and walked towards the refrigerator.

  What I didn't know was that after all this fuss, it was already past 11 o'clock at night...

  I opened the refrigerator, pinched my nose, and took out the only two remaining instant noodles from inside. Then I went to the kitchen, washed a dusty pot with water, turned on the gas stove, boiled some water, cooked these two expired noodles, and after they were done, without caring about anything, I wolfed them down with cold water.

  After finishing the two bowls of noodles, I let out a satisfied burp and patted my belly contentedly as I walked towards the living room sofa. Eat today and worry about tomorrow later! With this mindset, I lay down directly on the sofa and stared at the light on the ceiling, closing my eyes.

  For some reason, I, who had no intention of sleeping, was suddenly overcome with a strong sense of drowsiness at this moment. Before long, I fell fast asleep, snoring loudly.

  Just as I fell asleep, time froze at exactly midnight!

  "Crack——"

  The living room lights that were originally on suddenly turned off automatically, and the sound of the switch being pressed was so clear and crisp.

  The next moment, the curtains in the living room window were suddenly pulled down automatically, covering the entire window tightly. The atmosphere instantly became somewhat uncomfortable.

  But at that time, I didn't know how all this happened. I slept very soundly, to be honest, it was as if my spirit was suddenly suppressed and forced to fall into a deep sleep.

  "Return my husband!!! I want to get married!!!"

  "Return my husband!!! I want to get married!!!"

  Suddenly, the shrill cries of the calls invaded my ears, making me jump up from the sofa in an instant.

  It wasn't until I opened my eyes that I realized the living room was pitch black all around me, and I couldn't see my hand in front of my face!

  "What's going on? How did it become so dark? I clearly turned on the lights! And who was shouting just now?"

  I suddenly became alert, sat up straight and listened carefully with my ears perked up.

  Quiet!

  The room was so quiet, quiet to the point where there wasn't even a hint of sound.

  "Did I hear that wrong? Am I scaring myself?" I shook my head in self-mockery, and then felt my way in the dark towards the wall on the left side of the hall, where there was a switch button to turn on the living room lights.

  It's really too dark in the house, I can't see the road ahead at all. However, I remember that there are no obstacles on the left side of the living room, as long as I recognize the direction and walk forward, I will definitely hit the wall.

  But after fumbling and walking for a few steps, I bumped into something.

  "Huh? What's this? No way! I remember that apart from the intact walls, there was nothing else here! The directions of east, south, west, and north are also correct! I didn't misjudge the direction!"

  After confirming myself for a while, I firmly believe that the direction I am heading is correct. But since what I touched now isn't a wall, then what could it be?

  Suddenly, I felt a little scared. So, I raised my hand and trembled to explore the object that blocked me.

  Following the feeling of my hands, I soon felt out that what was blocking me was a person shorter than me by a head! And it was someone with long hair!

  "Is it a woman? The female owner of the house?"

  "A female ghost!!!"

  I suddenly realized something, and quickly withdrew my hand, ready to run towards the sofa, hoping to find my yellow cloth bag. Because all my ghost-catching tools are in the bag. More importantly, the remaining super talismans that Grandpa gave me are also there!

  But it's too dark all around, and when I think of going back the same way, I'm a bit unclear about the direction.

  Just as I was about to turn around and head in the opposite direction, the long-haired thing that was a head taller than me suddenly turned around again, blocking my way. At the same time, a faint green glow suddenly appeared in front of me, and everything before my eyes made me feel both amazed and terrified.

  Under the illumination of a faint green light, I saw a woman in red clothes dancing and fluttering about, with a beautiful face. The woman had a dead expression on her face, looking as if she was suffering greatly. Her feet were off the ground, as if her entire body was floating in mid-air.

  I was instantly intimidated! If I were flying at midnight and encountered such a beautiful female ghost, let alone "passionate", it would be great if I wasn't scared to death!

  Run!

  Since the female ghost blocked my way to grab the bag, and I didn't have any ghost-catching tools in hand, I couldn't fight against such a powerful ghost. Without hesitation, among the Thirty-six Stratagems, "running away" is the best choice!

  Turning around, taking advantage of the sudden appearance of a faint green light shining, I accurately found the living room door and prepared to open it and escape from this house.

  As soon as I started running, I heard a series of eerie and terrifying screams from the female ghost.

  "Return my husband!!! I want to get married!!!"

  "Return my husband!!! I want to get married!!!"

  The sound reverberated back and forth in the room, lingering on and on.

  I couldn't care about all that, I quickly arrived at the door of the living room, turned the handle and opened it, and saw the stairway outside.

  It was as if I had seen a mountain of gold, and I used all my might to rush out the door. I quickly ran down the stairs, hoping to escape the building in the first time and leave this haunted place!

  I arrived smoothly on the first floor, and in front of me was the main entrance exit of this residential building.

  "We're saved!"

  I secretly congratulated myself on my agility, and as if very excited, I quickly opened the front door, ready to push it open and take a good breath of fresh air outside.

  When I opened the front door, I was completely stunned.

  "What the...! How did I end up here?!"
